Yesterday I get a text on WhatsApp from a number I've never seen. I reply "Who are you?" And I get "Oh, I'm sorry. I typed the wrong number. Blah blah blah." I figured I'd get a "send me $ and I'll send you nudes" or "BTW, I really need $" or something. I've had a couple of wrong numbers on WhatsApp and I've ignored them.
But I was really bored yesterday so I wondered where they would go and started texting back. All the marks of catfishing are there: attractive Asian woman (she's sending pics but no nudes); world traveler; rich, etc. So far she/he/it hasn't asked for any money or any confidential info so I'm just screwing around seeing what the next text will be.
I have no idea what this person's end goal is going to be. I have not disclosed any private details of my life and I have no intention of sending money or making plans to meet or anything like that. So what should I do? End it? Make outrageous demands? Keep playing along? [Reply]

We hung out together for probably two or three weeks until he left just because we were the only Americans. He was a nice guy.
At some point a Filipina woman espied us. Seoul at the time had a lot of illegal workers from the Philippines. She latched onto us, which was fine. She was nice as well. I was married, but the other fellow was tall and blonde and generally a good looking guy, so this Filipina woman really wanted him. I think she would have married him on the spot, and she made it no secret that she had a goal of marrying an American. Alas, she couldn't snag him because there was a crackdown on illegal workers, so she had to stop being visible for a while and he left during that time.
In my 20 years in the Army, I've known several men that did a tour in Korea and came back with a Filipina wife. [Reply]

The only English TV station when I was there was Armed Forces Television. They had regular programs for local women that were tutorials about how to be an army wife to an American soldier. [Reply]
She would text me throughout the day for several days until Friday and I was really busy so I didn’t get a chance to text her back. One of those days when you sit down at night and wonder where the day went. I’d keep relying, keeping things low-key and non-committal to see where this would go. And after no texts on Friday, she hasn’t texted me or replied to me. I’ve sent a couple of texts to see if she’s around but nothing.
She never offered nudes. She never demanded money. She never asked for any personal information. And I ran several of her pics through Google image search and did not find anything. But she would send texts saying she had to get to work at a salon she owned and she would send pics of a salon with nobody in it. She claimed to own a salon but she sent a picture of her sitting in a Bentley.
No, I do not think the pics were real. No, I don’t think her story was real. I never did. I played along to see where this would go, sort of like the people who text back to the Nigerian scammers to mess with them. So I have no idea who that person was and I have no idea what their end goal was. Truly a bizarre experience. [Reply]
The pics i have are on my phone,i only use CP on my laptop.It would have to be via text.But its not like the pics are better than porn or anything haha. [Reply]

This inspires me to potentially make a helpful video for my wife. Perhaps if she had better information, she could be an even better wife to me? I think I’ll broach the topic with her tomorrow morning after we have both had a good night’s sleep. [Reply]
